Inferior vena cava and coronary sinus obstruction after percutaneous atrial septal defect device closure requiring surgical revision

Abstract

Percutaneous device closure for atrial septal defects has been gaining in popularity as a treatment modality of atrial septal defects because of the good medium-term results and lower complication rate compared with open surgical closure. There are few reported complications arising from atrial septal defect device closure. Reported complications have been limited to device embolization, thrombus formation, cardiac arrhythmia, and delivery system failures.
